CHIEF McC1BE,S REIYsT1TEKENE

The Court of Appeals decision rcinstating
Chief McCabe of the Fire Department. Is In
effect double and merited rebuke to the Fire
Commissioners. They ostensbly removed the
Chief for calling out too many engines to q
dangerous fire which started on the night OF
July 5, 1885. In reality McCabe was removed
for political reasons. If he erred in sending
out the alarm known as three skies 1t was q
mistake on the side of safety. The punishment
inflicted by instigaton of Commissioner Purroy
was excessive and preposterous. and against the
Judgment of Commissioner Croker.
If McCabe had not been Republican who
voted and worked against Prroy's candidate
for Sheriff there would have been no danger of
his removal That was the generally expressed
sentiment of the community But with that
logged obstinacy common to political chooses
who feel themselves above the people Puroy
persisted in his determination to remove Nc
Cabe. When the General Term of the Supreme
Court unanimously ordered the reinstatement
of the Chief Purroy still declined to comply.
In a most unwarrantabe manner he put the
city to tho expense of an appeal to the court of
last.resort This effort to use tho Fire Depart
ment for personal and political ends has cost
the taxpayers over Tio'oOO. ~ h'' ~ ie'''
had ono good result in making it plain that the
courts will not sustain the removal of frcmen
for political reasons.
If Justice were done Puroy would not only
be compelled to pay the expense Of this litlg'I-
ton but he would be removed from office 1t
was no mistake Of Judgment on his part but
deliberate attempt to use the Department for
nolitical ends The threat circulated by Pur-
roy's friends that McCabe will find his old po-
sitfon an unpleasant ono Is further evidence
that Purroy should be removed. Fortunately
the term of the commissioners who voted with
him has already expired.

loans TO AID CORNERS.

II is pleasant TO award merted praise to n
public official for faihfulncss 10 law and the
public interest which is not too common. The
examination AT the Fidelity Bank of Gin
cinnad convinced the examiner that
the officials Of that bank had been
specializing 1t was n matter OF common
notoricty that the great wheat corner had been
engineered by persons connected with that
bank but such reports often do injustice, and II
was perfectly proper for the official to disregard
them until his own investigation had convinced
him of their truth. If they were truc, the
onicials of the bank were not only disrgarding
in technicalitics a law framed for the protection
of stockholders and depositors in bank. but
thcy were engaged in an operation contrary to
tho laws Of the State OF Illinois, and hostile to
public interest everywhere. If this was
proved to the satisfaction Of the examiner, he
performed his plain duty in requiring the
bank TO remove the offending officers. or to
wind ND its affairs. Yesterday tho bank closed
its doors
This step brings TO mind efforts which were
industriously made not long ago to get part
of the money to carry on the wheat corner from
Ncw-Yorh banks. Paper Of the wheat opcrat-
ors. supposed to be abundantly secured by
wheat as collateral at 20 cents, was offered to
more than one Ncw-Yort bank in large
amounts. BY some of them, il is certain, the
loans were refused, though il was not imagined
that they were risky. One bank president de-
clhed expressly on the ground that he would
not use the funds of a commercial bank to aid
an opcraton which was in It's nature a conspir-
acy against commercial interests and legitimate
business. But il current reports are not In
error other banks did accept the paper, loaned
large sums Of money on it. and probably have
more interest than they now desire in the con-
diion of the Fidelity Bank Of Cincinnati, and
in the litigation which which is. so rapidly null
tplying at Chicago.
There is about TO be another annual cOnvcn-
ton of bankers, at which subjects Of interest TO
the banking world will be freely discussed
Would it not be a most appropriate topic for
consideration at this meeting whether CONNER
cial banks have any business to loan CONNER
cia funds in aid Of speculative operations II
may be agreed that in many cases the bark
officers cannot know how money loaned is to be
used. But when they do know, is it not ex-
ceehngly clear that their duty to the COM
Inunity and to depositOrs and stockholders
ought TO prevent such loansf

THE TROUBLE IN HONOLULU.

Attempts have been made recently to create
the impression that dark and bloody time was
impending in the Sandwich Islands that some
body was stirring up a revolution there; and
that all manner of terrible news might be cX-
pected at any moment All this talk must
sound very funny to the initiate, for there are
few places in the world where serious trouble
of the revolutionary sort would be harder o in
cite than Honolulu. The idea is altogether in
congruous. 1t is like the suggestion OF dog
fight on the Fortunate Islands. The Hawaii
ans, 1t is true, were at one time somewhat
martial people, but since the time Of Kameha-
meha the Grea they have got we'll over their
fighting inclination, and are at present the
most peaceable. indolent, dreamy people to be
found Moreover they arc loyal with passive
persistence which nothing can turn, and 1t
would take an inconceivable amount OF bad
government to change them. But they do not
suffer from bad government at ALL nor are they
really at tho mercy of their nominal King.
Royalty at Honolulu is little more than show
and tho actual power of the King is small. The
government is not de facto native one, though
it is so represented
